Psalm 119:73-80

Deus Tuorum Militum L.M. (Grenoble church melody)

73 Your hands have made and fashioned me;
O make me wise, your law to learn;
74 then they that fear you shall be glad
when they my hope in God discern.

75 You, LORD, are just in all your ways,
and faithful when you correct me;
76 your steadfast love be my comfort,
as in your promises to me.

77 Show mercy, Lord, that I may live,
for in your law is all my joy;
78 while those who wrong me are rebuked,
your precepts shall my thoughts employ.

79 Let those that fear you turn to me,
your truth to them will I proclaim;
80 instruct my heart to keep your law,
that I may not be put to shame.

Psalter, 1912, alt.
